Abstract

The present invention relates to a method and system for non-intrusively associating encrypted supplemental content with web pages. The method involves creating user profiles for community-based content association, allowing users to create and manage supplemental content, and associating the content with specific web pages using URL, vision technology, and/or content recognition technologies. The system provides secure online transactions using smart contracts and blockchain technologies while delivering real-time notifications to users. Additionally, the platform offers personalized content recommendations, content moderation, and privacy controls for managing access to content. Guest access allows unregistered users to browse and view content before registration. The system ensures the integrity of the web page by preserving its original structure while enabling the non-intrusive display of supplemental content.
